Zooey Deschanel Tired of Being the Bizarro Katy Perry [Update]

April 2, 2009

Hollywood isn’t big enough for both Zooey Deschanel and Katy Perry, it seems. We didn’t think they look that similar, but apparently Deschanel gets confused for the “I Kissed a Girl” singer all the time and it’s getting old quick.

“It’s a little bit annoying, to be totally blunt,” she told MTV. “The only similarity that we have is that we look a bit alike. I used to get, ‘I heard you were out at such-and-such club drinking whiskey!’ [when] I was at home watching TV.”

“I think we lead very different lives,” Deschanel added. “At some point I feel like this will stop being a thing. I like the way my life goes. It’s sort of strange to be associated with someone that’s doing such different stuff than me. It’s weird.”

**Update**

Katy Perry first reacted to this story by saying “I look like Lily [Allen], I look like Natasha Khan…” But the whole debate is probably getting a bit more annoying, as now she’s getting drive-by Zooey shout-outs. Check out her latest tweet:
